No. But our alternative is to fold. If the AFL don't back us we are screwed, we have 33k membership, no one showing up to games, a horrible last 6 years, fines, a poor list, no president or coach, a FD that resembles a bowl of spaghetti.
We need the AFL, I don't like it but its a fact.
The best thing to happen to us lately is PJ who came because the AFL got him for us.
If left to our own we will probably be 10mil in debt by end of next year and had another two coaches.
We have proven our incompetence in our governance of our club, we need all the money the AFL can give us.
Sad, but true.
